This Matte Black Single Switched Outlet is designed for homeowners and office managers seeking a modern, integrated solution for power and charging. Its key benefit is providing both a standard UK mains socket and high-speed USB charging (USB-C PD and USB-A Quick Charge) in a sleek, screwless design. A minor consideration is that the combined USB output is limited when both ports are in use.

The USB Type-C port supports up to 20W Power Delivery, and the USB Type-A port supports up to 18W Quick Charge. When both are used simultaneously, the combined output is a maximum of 20W at 5V 4A.
For optimal charging speeds, it is recommended to use USB cables that are rated for Power Delivery (for USB-C) or Quick Charge (for USB-A) and are compatible with your device.
The matte black finish is designed for aesthetics and durability. However, it's best to clean it with a soft, damp cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners to prevent damage.
The USB-C port provides up to 20W PD, which is suitable for charging many smaller laptops or Chromebooks that support USB-C charging at lower wattages. However, it may not be sufficient for high-power gaming laptops or professional workstations.
Yes, the socket meets BS 1363 standards and features a double pole switch for enhanced electrical safety.
A screwless design means that once installed, there are no visible screws on the faceplate, providing a cleaner, more modern, and minimalist appearance.
USB-C PD (Power Delivery) and USB-A QC (Quick Charge) are different fast-charging technologies. PD is commonly used with USB-C ports and can deliver higher wattages, while QC is primarily associated with USB-A ports. This socket supports both for broad device compatibility.
Ensure you are using a compatible USB cable. For fast charging, use a cable rated for PD or QC. Check if the device supports PD or QC. If charging two devices simultaneously, ensure the combined output does not exceed 20W.
Verify that the connected appliance has a functioning plug and is properly inserted. Check your home's fuse box or circuit breaker to ensure the circuit is active and has not tripped.
Some warmth is normal during charging, especially when multiple devices are drawing power. However, if the socket feels excessively hot, disconnect all devices and discontinue use. Contact a qualified electrician.
Setup: Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with current wiring regulations. The screwless design ensures a clean finish once installed.

Care: To maintain the appearance, wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the matte black finish.
